strangely enough my tongue has healed up nicely (it was getting burned so bad that it felt like it was shot with novacaine) but it hasn't made much of a difference on the inside of my cheeks where the blisters get bigger everyday. My mouth and throat conditions are deteriorating rapidly and by tomorrow I am sure that I will be using the "Millers" Solution. I also got a Waterpik (from a suggestion from someone on the site) and it's working well for me also. I think also that I will be switching to the canned food pretty quickly to make sure I'm getting enough calories.
